Boys Choir & All

Vienna, Austria – home to Mozart, Schwarzenegger, and the bear claw (still researching that last one). It’s a cool, rainy day here and what better way to kick it off than with a cup of local Viennese coffee. I have to say, in the week I’ve been on the road I have not had one bad cup of coffee. Even the in-room coffee ain’t so bad. Europe isn’t so big on the “coffee to go” idea. We keep getting strange looks when we ask to get our drinks to go. That would explain the little plastic Dixie cup they give you. Still, melted plastic and all, they taste great.

There wasn’t too much to see in Vienna, well at least where we were. It turned out the venue was about 10-15 miles from central Vienna and we left right after the show, so not too much to tell from here. There were lots of little shops and businesses but nothing architecturally stunning or magnificent.

The venue was decent, a good-sized rock room with great production. The complex it was in was a community center type of building with a courtyard in the centre. Each wing had something different going on, arts & crafts on one side, yoga in the other wing, hip-hop dance classes across the way. Yes, hip-hop dance classes. We all know all great hip-hop dancing comes from Austria, along with their sausages
